RusAF elections

16.01.2016

Mr. Dmitry Shliakhtin was elected to the position of RusAF President at its Extraordinary elective conference.

Four candidates were contesting Presidential position, but Mikhail Butov, RusAF General Secretary and Member of the IAAF Council, and Alexandre Shustov, European Champion 2010 in High jump, withdrew their candidatures prior to elections. As a result, delegates unanimously voted for Dmitry Shliakhtin.

Maxim Karamyshev did not gain any single vote. Thus, Dmitry A. Shliakhtin, Minister of sports of Samara region, became a new President of Russian Athletic Federation.
